The Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster Pioneer Edition was listed at a price of 295,800 yuan

Trumpchi's M8 Grandmaster Edition should have been seen many times on the road, at the price of 300,000, although it is not the largest in size, it may not be the most luxurious interior, but it is a relatively balanced car in all aspects in this range. The M8 Grandmaster Edition's in-car system is actually quite good, but as early as the end of 2023, we got news from many sources that at the beginning of 2024, GAC Trumpchi will launch a new model equipped with Huawei's cockpit, which will also be the first model of cooperation between GAC and Huawei.

We always thought it might be a brand new model, but now this GAC Trumpchi's first model equipped with Huawei's intelligent cockpit has appeared: the Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster Pioneer Edition.

The Trumpchi M8 Grandmaster Pioneer Edition was launched on February 24, with a guide price of 295,800 yuan. In fact, compared with the current M8 Master Edition, the new car has basically not changed much in terms of appearance and interior, the appearance is still the same appearance, the interior is still the same interior, the power system and various parameters have basically not moved, and even the size of the two screens on the center console has not changed. It can be said that this new car is basically the same as the current model in terms of appearance.

The only difference between the new car is in the car machine, as mentioned above, this is the first model of cooperation between GAC and Huawei, and the official introduction text of GAC is: MPV intelligent cockpit developed based on Huawei Harmony OS. Don't underestimate this official description, there is actually a lot of mystery in it.

First of all, the official name of the intelligent cockpit used by Huawei in its own Hongmeng Zhixing models and the models of some high-level partners is "Hongmeng Intelligent Cockpit", which opens up all the core data links of the whole car and is a complete system built entirely using Huawei's core system. And the M8 Grandmaster Pioneer Edition is a bit different from this intelligent cockpit, it is "an intelligent cockpit based on the HarmonyOS system". In other words, this car is not actually equipped with Hongmeng intelligent cockpit, but a set of intelligent cockpit system developed by GAC itself based on Hongmeng as the base system under the cooperation of GAC and Huawei.

Although theoretically, the essence of Hongmeng is also Android, but Hongmeng belongs to the underlying code of the overhauled version of Android, and now GAC based on the original Android based on the intelligent car machine system, whether in hardware utilization efficiency or code efficiency, and even the stability of the implementation of various functions, fluency and other aspects There is a gap, simply put, with Hongmeng as the base of the car machine system, can provide a smoother experience in the case of the same car machine hardware, and at the same time, due to the Hongmeng foundation, you can even access Huawei's multi-terminal interconnection, which is at this stage GAC's own intelligent car machine, there is a generational advantage of the level。

In fact, at the level of 300,000, the competitors of the M8 Grandmaster are relatively fixed, and the Pioneer Edition does not affect the overall model competition pattern under the premise that the price has not been adjusted too much. Compared with old opponents such as Denza D9, the advantages of the pioneer version are basically concentrated in the car machine system, and it has to be said that compared with the native Android system based on the intelligent car machine of most models at this price, the pioneer version based on Hongmeng has a clear advantage in the car machine use experience.

The more critical point is that in the 300,000-level MPV market is actually a bit "rollless" now, the intelligent car machine, which is used by users with a very high frequency and perception is very obvious, is enough for users to make a preferred choice in the choice of products at the same level.

Therefore, unlike some new cars that have been launched recently, the M8 Grandmaster Pioneer Edition does not go through the way of adding configurations, but chooses to improve the user's experience on the car machine. For the field of 300,000-level executive MPV, this move is very clever.

We naturally also believe that the M8 Grandmaster Pioneer Edition after the blessing of Hongmeng car machine will inevitably cause friends to catch up in the field of 300,000-level MPV. Perhaps the car reel machine will become a new competition point in the field of 300,000-level new energy MPV this year.
